It was exactly 12 years ago on October 2013 when I finally decided to pull the trigger and try buying some Bitcoin.
At the time, you had either had to go to localbitcoins dot com and meet up with someone at a coffee shop or something or buy it P2P directly from a friend. I did a test buy of 1.5 BTC for $300.
Similar to now, the price had just slowly recovered back to $200 from the April crash from $266 to $50.
By mid november we hit $1000 for the first time ever.
By 2014 we were starting our Bitcoin startup in the Philippines.
Stuck around, helped build our industry with a bunch of cool people, lived through 4 halving cycles, and here we are, listening to people whining about Bitcoin having a horrible year compared to gold and stocks after 200 days above $100K 🤣
